Why McCulloch County veterans choose the Texas Vet program

Use it to buy a home — the VLB also offers Texas land and home-improvement loans

Brady and the rest of McCulloch County fall under the same statewide VLB program — the rate is set by the state, not marked up by a local lender, so where you buy in Texas doesn't change the headline rate.

Your VA loan is assumable — a hidden selling point

When you sell, a qualified buyer can assume your VA loan and keep its rate, with servicer approval — a serious advantage in a higher-rate market. One caution: unless the buyer is an eligible veteran who substitutes entitlement, yours stays tied to the loan until it's paid off.

Stacking the VLB program with your VA benefit

You don't have to choose. Many Texas veterans pair the VLB program's discounted, weekly-set rate with the VA loan's $0 down and no PMI — getting a lower rate AND no money down on the same purchase. The right structure depends on your situation.

Divorce and your VA entitlement

If your ex keeps the home and the VA loan, your entitlement stays tied to that property until it's refinanced or paid off — which can block your next $0-down purchase. Texas's owelty of partition lien, written into the decree, helps the spouse keeping the home refinance the equity buyout. Sort the mortgage before the decree is final.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I build a new home with my VA benefit?

Yes. VA one-time-close construction loans fund the land, build, and permanent mortgage in a single closing, often with $0 down. A licensed builder and fixed-price contract are required; fewer lenders offer the product, so shop carefully.

How long does a VA loan take to close?

Most VA loans close in about 30–45 days — comparable to conventional loans. Getting your COE early and responding quickly to document requests keeps it on schedule.

Does the VLB offer a home improvement loan?

Yes. The VLB home improvement loan can finance repairs and upgrades on your existing primary residence with fixed terms. Some project types are excluded, so confirm scope eligibility before signing contractor agreements.

Are VA loans assumable?

Yes — a buyer can assume your VA loan and its rate with servicer approval. If the buyer isn't an eligible veteran substituting entitlement, your entitlement stays tied up until the loan is paid off, so weigh that before agreeing.

Can I buy a barndominium with a VA loan in Texas?

Often yes — the home must meet VA property requirements and the appraiser needs comparable sales, which rural Texas has more of than most places. It's a lender-by-lender call worth confirming early.

Will a VA appraisal kill my deal?

VA appraisals focus on safety, soundness, and value — not cosmetics. Most pass without issue, and when there are repairs, they're usually minor and negotiable.
